This morning the children performed a lovely Easter themed Celebration of the Word for their families. They spoke so beautifully about the true meaning of Easter and new life. Well done children, Mrs Hill and I are very proud of you.
Mini Vinnies’ Coffee Morning at St Bede’s Church
The Mini Vinnies hosted a coffee morning today after Palm Sunday Mass.
There was a Tombola stall, a delicious Cale Sale and the Mini Vinnies sold bookmarks they’d made as well as Stations of the Cross booklets in which they’d produced the beautiful artwork.
The Mini Vinnies were brilliant and the morning was a huge success – they raised £166.57 for the St Vincent de Paul Society.
Everyone had a fantastic day! Well done Mini Vinnies and a big thank you to the parents and staff who supported the event too!
Y1’s Celebration of the Word
Year 1 welcomed their families to join them for their Eucharist Celebration of the Word. The children presented a beautiful performance, showcasing their impressive reading and singing talents. They also shared heartwarming stories about the cherished meals they’ve enjoyed with their families and friends.
Stations of the Cross – Years 3 and 4
Years 3 and 4 led the Stations of the Cross at St Bede’s Church today together with their families and parishioners.
It was a lovely service and the children read beautifully, allowing us time to think about the Passion of Christ and reflect on Jesus’ love for us and the sacrifice He made for us.

CAFOD Family Fast Day
On Friday 23rd February it was CAFOD Family Fast Day. St Bede’s families showed their commitment to helping people in the local community and further afield, by generously supporting our Lenten appeal to help us help those less fortunate than ourselves.
Children donated tins of food to the Key to Life Foodbank (an operation providing emergency food and support to people in crisis across South Tyneside) as well as donating money to CAFOD (Catholic Aid for Overseas Development), one of the largest networks in the world, helping some of the poorest and marginalised people in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
We collected over £50 in monetary donations and a wealth of food products for the Key to Life Foodbank. As you can see by the photographs of our Mini Vinnies with our food donations, together we make a huge difference!
Easter Mystery
To help us prepare to celebrate Easter, the children have been invited to join our special project called ‘The Easter Mystery’. Starting this week, each child will take turns bringing home a pack to share with their families.
By sharing the Easter story, we remember the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and, as a family, take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Easter.
Children in KS1 will bring home the Easter story, while children in KS2 will bring home ‘The Way of the Cross’ booklet detailing Jesus’ journey during the last week of his life.
Exploring Islam in RE
In our RE lessons, we have been exploring Islam. We have particularly been learning about Hajj and Ramadan. Two of our friends kindly brought in some items from home to share with us all. It was wonderful to hear them talk so passionately about their faith.
Mini Vinnies’ Coffee Morning at St Bede’s Church
The Mini Vinnies hosted their first coffee morning today after Mass. The children made some delicious cakes and brought in some great prizes for the Tombola stall.
After setting up the church hall in preparation for the coffee morning, the Mini Vinnies attended Mass and then were put to work! The morning was a huge success, with the Mini Vinnies raising £134.42 towards repairs for the church roof.
Everyone had a fantastic day and Fr Bill was thrilled with the money raised! Well done Mini Vinnies!!!
Commissioning of the Mini Vinnies
In the Autumn term, we asked for children to volunteer to become Mini Vinnies. We were astounded by the huge number of applications received from our KS2 children. It was so difficult to choose between the thoughtful applications of those children wanting to make a difference in their community, so, with over 40 applications, we decided to run 2 Mini Vinnies’ groups. Here they are being commissioned today.
Mrs Brown visits Year 4
As part of our Local Church topic in RE, we were fortunate to welcome Mrs Brown into school to talk about the role the laity plays in Church. It was very interesting – the children learned a lot about how we are all called to serve God in our own way, and the commitment and responsibility involved in people volunteering.
